Juice cleanse

Anyone tried a 48 hour juice cleanse with good results? I'm just looking for something to kick start my diet again and then I'll resume my "normal" eating and exercise habits.

    Skip the cleanses and just go straight to the moderate calorie deficit and exercise portion. ;) your liver and kidneys do a perfect cleansing of your body. There's no kickstarting. Just the mental willpower to overcome

    Your mind plays a huge role in everything you do. How you feel, often comes down to mentally what you believe you feel.

    7 lbs? Mostly water weight. Also, keep in mind fast weight loss does not equal good weight loss.

    Fat, sick, and nearly dead is a joke.

    After reading a friend's update and the following consensus, I might bathe in the juice of mangoes :wink:

    At least save what's left of the fruit, for da fibers!

    Nothing needs to be "kick started". You are not a motorcycle. Do your kidneys function properly? Is your liver intact and in good working order? Then I have wonderful news for you: you do not need a cleanse. Your body does that for you all on its own. Hooray science!

    You'll lose water weight, be miserable most likely, and then regain your water weight again when you resume normal habits.
    Just keep at a calorie deficit and exercise. There's no need to "jump start" anything.

    Our bodies are cleaning machines.
    Choose exercise and food that is good for you. Your body will take care of you.

    Getting the runs from a 10 day juice cleanse does not mean toxins are coming out of your body

    Just start eating sensibly, at a moderate calorie deficit. Gimmicky "kickstart" strategies aren't necessary or helpful.

    Thats strange alot of people that in bark on a juice fast for 3,5,7,10 days actually reports that they feel energized etc etc....When i did the 7 days juice fast back in May i lost 8/9 pounds,i had alot of energy my mental healthy improved alot in just 7 days...

    The detoxification in juice fast actually starts from 14 days onwards.

    "Some people report feeling more focused and energetic during and after detox diets. However, there's little evidence that detox diets actually remove toxins from the body. Indeed, the kidneys and liver effectively filter and eliminate most ingested toxins."

    Where/how/why do so many people get this idea? It's stupid, unnecessary, unpleasant, expensive and ineffective.

    Eat food, not to much, and move more.

    The relative sizes of the marketing budgets for the proprietary detox cleansing systems and the eat less/move more system might have something to do with it

    The only thing it will kickstart is a binge or a quit or irritability.

    Make your "normal" routine your new lifestyle.

    I expect the juices I buy to be clean. If it takes 48+ hours to cleanse them, you're buying the wrong juices. :tongue:

    I try to make sure my fruits are clean of pesticides before I buy them. After that of course some of them need a good washing off to clean them of dirt and bugs.

    Once that's done, there is no need to worry about cleaning my insides with anything.

    The thing is that I can't exercise a lot because of health/ physical issues and weight loss is really slow so I'm trying to figure. Out a;few short cuts here and there

    There are no shortcuts. Shortcuts always backfire.

    There are no short cuts... You don't put on the weight overnight, you can't lose it overnight. If you want to keep the weight off, it means changing your habits. You can take it easy, there's no need to exercise. Just start counting everything you eat using this site (everything means also vegetables, fruits, drinks, cooking oil you use, spreads etc). It really works.

    I did the 7 day juicing cleanse at 265lbs lost 20lbs in that 7 days drinking 6-8 16oz bottles of fruit and veggies , mostly green leafy's in my juicer. It deffinitly was a mental and physical challenge day 3 I was always cold due to my digestive system not running as hard as if there were solids in there. I stayed full with the 6-8 bottles a day. In the end my stomach shrunk which in turn has taught me to only eat when I'm hungry and reach my dailies and not just eat out of boredom. I'm now eating healthier and down 71 lbs. with daily exercise. A lot of good juicing recipes out there but KALE was not for me LOL, not my leafy green of choice LOL

    I've been eating well for quite awhile, but I cannot physically exercise like I warn to because of extreme disability so I was trying another path, I know that shortcut was bad wording

    I felt more energetic due to cut in caffeine from my daily coffees fatty foods and occasional beer. Detox I guess if it means cutting out caffeine and all the fatty foods I was eating. To me it was just way to shift my bad eating habits and start fresh with a healthier life style. yes you can loose weight from a "Juice Cleanse" but its not permanent or healthy as your body needs the other macros.

    What kind of disability? Maybe you could speak to your Dr about exercises you can do or maybe even google exercising with your disability.

    FYI any movement will burn extra calories. Sure some of it will be minimal but something is better then nothing.
